## Resource

Shuv Majumdar, the Conservative MP overseeing Canada-U.S. relations, boldly challenges the notion that criticizing the government during a trade dispute is disloyal, arguing that opposition’s role is to secure the best outcomes for Canada—even when the Prime Minister is under pressure. He insists that healthy democracy thrives on debate, not silence, especially during crises. Majumdar highlights the government’s lack of transparency with the opposition, recalling past practices where Conservatives were briefed on major international issues—something he says has been absent for over a year and a half. His central demand? Full disclosure of the trade deal details so Canadians can understand why negotiations collapsed. He presses for specifics on what sovereignty was allegedly compromised, particularly cultural sovereignty, and demands clarity on the strategy behind counter-tariffs, who bears the cost, and how key sectors like aerospace and defense are affected. Majumdar also urges Canada to leverage its strengths—critical minerals and energy—as trade incentives rather than relying solely on tariffs. He dismisses waiting for U.S. elections as a strategy and insists transparency isn’t disloyalty—it’s essential for a nation facing serious economic consequences.
